Civic Si

**Juturna** · 08-28-2009, 03:34 PM

Just bought a brand new Civic Si yesterday and let me say - not baddd.

I wanted something fuel efficient for school commute and all but still - car's feeling gooooddd. Three tanks of gas down. :P

**Mooseman33** · 08-28-2009, 03:36 PM

congrats man..
wish u the best with ur new ride...

**redz** · 08-28-2009, 03:36 PM

Went for the rice car eh. They are okay cars did you atleast get a stick shift?

**Aizen Sosuke** · 08-28-2009, 03:41 PM

Civic Si only comes 6spd. What color did you get? coupe or sedan? I gotta an 06 fiji blue coupe and I love it man

**Juturna** · 08-28-2009, 03:42 PM

Of course I got stick - I just can't afford to be spending tons on gas anymore with a 45-minute drive to school every weekday.

I've been driving all over just feeling out the car and besides the performance which I'm impressed with, the fuel efficiency is amazing. (Before I had a 2002 M3, so obviously the Si is slacking in performance compared to that, but can't beat some cool aspects of it).

**redz** · 08-28-2009, 03:43 PM

Good call, I know they used to sell an auto tranny here in Canada in the si model but I guess not anymore. Would be a good car to turbo charge.

**Juturna** · 08-28-2009, 03:45 PM

I have a coupe - nobody to drive around except friends haha. I got the polished metal. It's darkish grey.

Oh true - I didn't know they'd had Automatic Si's. Yeah I mean - it'd be cool but before I mess with this I'll probably just buy something faster. If the economy picks up :P

**Juturna** · 08-28-2009, 03:54 PM

Except I got the GPS Nav in the middle. Can't complain thus far though. Great cheap, fun car.

**jamyjamjr** · 08-28-2009, 04:03 PM

yea i drive a honda too...

03 accord 325hp sleeper... looks bone stock, no body kit.. didn't even change the exhaust out.. it's all engine/cpu work..

i have a 04 G35 tricked out to 350hp.. got some nice shoes on it too...

**Juturna** · 08-28-2009, 04:11 PM

Yeah stock Si's are just below 200 but it's still a nice little commuter haha.

I've seen some really nice G35's - those car's look pretty sick actually... Little more pricey than I wanted to pay for a school car though.

I wanted to go with an Evo VIII when i went for a new car but gas was through the roof. I went with a fuel efficient car as well. I need a house before toys.

Hahaha. Called out.

I looked into the Evo's and STI's but it wasn't worth it - I'd rather have stuck with my M3 if I was only worried about performance.

**CBGB** · 08-28-2009, 04:25 PM

Hehehehe gotcha!

I was looking at both already but here were my issues:

1) more expensive for car
2) higher insurance
3) less fuel eff
4) I know myself and i would be dropping a bigger turbo in that puppy in a matter of months = even less fuel eff

I think i make a smart decision.

Definitely. Nice cars though.

Yup , everytime i see one blow by i whisper to myself, i should have one !

**Juturna** · 08-28-2009, 04:53 PM

Haha - only thing is... Whenever I see them it's somebody who definitely doesn't deserve to have it... Rocking back 25 ft before they accelerate, rich girls who've gotten stuck in a ditch, or a 17 year old asian with a giant red dragon on the side of his yellow Lancer wearing raybands and hair spiking through the roof and three asian friends all dancing to his Euro-trance.. (Don't ask me how I'm so specific).

Clearly someone who doesn't see the performance potential of the car.

**F4iGuy** · 08-28-2009, 06:41 PM

Nice ride. I can't complain, still getting 33 mpg highway with 460 wheel horse power. Man I love vetts. Jamy, that accord sounds like an awesome daily driver. Coupe?

**Juturna** · 08-28-2009, 06:46 PM

**Juturna** · 08-28-2009, 07:36 PM

Haha I'll let you know - only been there once. Wasn't too fun of a trip.

**Vettester** · 08-28-2009, 07:45 PM

Yeah, because fighting is such a "gay" thing to do.

Just about any car has potential. They are just too trendy for my liking.

**jbm** · 08-28-2009, 08:11 PM

eh dont like jap cars...german all the way

**jbm** · 08-28-2009, 08:20 PM

German = luxury
Japan = practicality
American = power

**cfiler** · 08-29-2009, 12:48 AM

Nice cars, I test drove an Acura CSX which is pretty much the same car only a 4 door alittle while ago. Handled really well for a fwd car with a lsd. They would be alot of fun to race in auto-x.

I had a BMW M3 - that's German - and it surely wasn't all about luxury. 420+ HP.
